I am Trying to do Co-Citation Network analysis and have to install package called "litstudy" in Python but I am getting an Error installing it in Jupyter and Python 3.10
Link for litstudy package https://nlesc.github.io/litstudy/index.html
In Python 3.10 while installing from Command Prompt getting Error

If anyone can Solve this for me i will be really grateful I'm stuck on this for amost a day and need to get started with networking analysis or if you have any other solution like this for Citation Networking
TL;DR
Dependencies of the litstudy package are not compatible with Python 3.10, you will have to downgrade to 3.9
Install packages from conda-forge, using conda, so you don't have to compile them.
The long story
The litstudy package has a huge number of dependencies, several of which need to be compiled. The error message you got indicates that compilation failed for some one them.
The dependencies wordcloud and fa2 where a problem on my computer when I ran pip install litstudy to reproduce your problem.
For wordcloud, the exists a pre-compiled Conda bundle for it, available from conda-forge. I recommend using conda (Anaconda3 or Miniconda3, either will do).
This worked for wordcloud, as recommended by its own readme:
conda install -c conda-forge wordcloud
For fa2, there was a second problem: when I ran conda install -c conda-forge fa2, I got this message:
UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found
to be incompatible with the existing python installation in your environment:
Specifications:
- fa2 -> python[version='>=3.6,<3.7.0a0|>=3.7,<3.8.0a0|>=3.8,<3.9.0a0|>=3.9,<3.10.0a0']
Your python: python==3.10.4
which basically says fa2 is not compatible (yet) with Python 3.10. So, you will have to downgrade to a 3.9.x version of Python to use this package.
So to install litstudy and its dependencies, I just created a Python 3.9.12 environment using conda, and then I was able to install everything.
The cut-and-pastable solution
Putting it all together, this worked for me, after installing Miniconda3:
conda create -n py39 python==3.9.12
conda activate py39
conda install -c conda-forge fa2 wordcloud
pip install litstudy
In that environment, import litstudy works fine.

A program I am trying to install requires the installation of PyQt5 5.15.0 , which gives me this error. The odd thing is that the installation works fine for the latest version of PyQt5 (5.15.2), but this program requires 5.15.0 specifically.

I am on the latest version of pip. Any ideas on the root cause of this issue?
What helped me is upgrading pip from 20.2.3 to the latest one (in my case 21.1.1)
For Mac/Homebrew users.
The answer by #the-x is leading in the right direction. On a Mac with QT5 installed via Homebrew the qmake binary just needs to be added to the path. This can be achieved through
export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/qt5/bin:$PATH"
(of course depending on where the homebrew files are installed)
Running on arm with python3.6 (ubuntu18 on nvidia Xavier):
sudo apt install qt5-default
For MacOS users.
I am on Apple M1 silicon using Python 3.9.8. What worked for me was #Apaul's comment in the original question section. Install pyqt5-sip prior to pyqt5.
I also have an Intel Mac and on that machine, I do not need to do this.
Checking the binaries that PyQt5 provides in pypi for version 5.15.0 I see that it does not provide the binaries for python3.9 in windows, so pip is trying to compile using the source code which is complicated and can generate several dependency problems (for example you must have Qt 5.15 installed, etc). So my recommendation is to install a more updated version of PyQt5, for example 5.15.2 since if it provides the binaries for python3.9 on windows, in addition to being a wrapper of an LTS version of Qt then it will have solved several bugs.
python -m pip install PyQt5==5.15.2
Another solution is to use python3.8 instead of python3.9 so that you can install pyqt5 5.15.0 from pypi without problems.
Upgrading your pip enables you to install PyQt5. Personally, I had the same issue while installing PyQt6 and I upgraded my pip, and everything installed perfectly. I think both python and pip versions play an important role in installing PyQt so make sure you have later versions.
This is the command I used in Linux:
pip install --upgrade pip
Combining several answers on this question: On an Apple M1 Pro Macbook with macOS Ventura 13.0.1, with Homebrew 3.6.17 and python 3.11.0 the following commands fixed it for me (no sudo):
brew install qt5
export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/qt5/bin:$PATH"
python3 -m ensurepip --default-pip
pip3 install pyqt5-sip
pip3 install pyqt5 --config-settings --confirm-license= --verbose
That last step calls qmake to compile all of Qt on your M1 and takes many minutes to complete, be patient and let it finish.
Since qt5-default was not available, I installed qt5-default's dependencies
sudo apt-get install qtbase5-dev qtchooser qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev-tools
after that I installed pyqt5 via apt-get first and afterwards via pip
sudo apt-get install pyqt5-dev
pip install pyqt5
now wheel seems to work
side-note:
I am not sure if sudo apt-get install pyqt5-dev is even necessary
The error message thrown here is misleading - it's not an issue with a sipbuild.api attribute. Indeed, in this case program qmake is missing, see last line of the Python traceback. Have a look if it's installed on your system and add it to your PATH variable. Otherwise, install it. On Linux this would be done with
sudo apt-get install qt5-qmake
I had this problem on my M1 Mac using Python 3.9.12 when I was trying to install a library: pip install pixellib.
The first thing I did was: pip install pixellib --verbose to see the whole log, and there I noticed that PyQt5 was waiting for an input. So then I found someone else with that issue, and used pip install pyqt5 --config-settings --confirm-license= --verbose which took some time to compile, but worked!
I could not get any of the above solutions to work but I managed to get it working using python3.9, PyQt5=5.15.2, pip=22.0.2 and sip=6.5.0 by using sudo apt-get install PyQt5. If you need it in a virtual environment, you can manually copy the PyQt5 folder from your default /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages to the site-packages folder in your virtual environment.
To all those that are struggling with Apple M1 installation, here is a working solution, specifically addressing the problem of installing the pixellib library that depends on PyQt5 but you can apply it equally to other libs:
PyQt5 is not supported on Apple M1, it needs qt6: https://www.reddit.com/r/learnpython/comments/o4w1ut/comment/h2jele3/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 , https://www.qt.io/product/qt6
this means you need to install PyQt6: python3 -m pip install PyQt6
go to the lib you need, in my case pixellib: https://pypi.org/project/pixellib/#files and
download the wheel file
get the wheel tool: pip install wheel
unpack the wheel wheel unpack pixellib-0.7.1-py3-none-any.whl
Change its dependency of PyQt5 to PyQt6
edit pixellib-0.7.1/pixellib-0.7.1.dist-info/METADATA
pyQt5 => pyQt6
pack it back wheel pack pixellib-0.7.1
install it: pip install pixellib-0.7.1-py3-none-any.whl
test in python: `
# should work
import pixellib
P.S. thanks to Terra and ChaOS for supporting work on the project underlying this report.
I finally managed to make it works on M1/M2 Macbook Pro.
None of these answers worked for me, so I looked at brew to install pyqt.
The following command will install pyqt5 via brew:
brew install pyqt#5
Then it just worked.
This can be resolved by switching to an environment with Python >= 3.8

I am writing because I am having trouble installing Pyomo using pip on Python 3.6 on Mac OSX 10.14
I'm following the installation instructions here.
I can successfully execute the first command:
pip install pyomo
But when I run into trouble when I'm supposed to run the following command to install additional dependencies:
pyomo install-extras
Running this command produces the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

There is a post about this here on Google Groups but no solution yet.
This is a documented issue on the github for Pyomo: https://github.com/Pyomo/pyomo/issues/243
They don't appear to have solved the pip installation of pyomo extras.
However, if you have conda installed - https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/
You should be able to use the terminal commands from:
https://pyomo.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html
run this in terminal after conda has been successfully installed:
conda install -c conda-forge pyomo.extras
I know this isn't pip, but it's at least a workaround until pyomo fixes their documentation.
confirmed working on python 3.x and ubuntu 18.04
I got the problem too (in Ubuntu 18.04).
Try installing it from the git project (https://github.com/Pyomo/pyomo):
In Ubuntu 18.04:
git clone https://github.com/Pyomo/pyomo.git
python3 pyomo/scripts/get_pyomo_extras.py
Use the corresponding commands for Mac OSX (I had never used it).
I hope that it works for you.
I am facing this problem while moving the python-package directory of XGBoost.
Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 19, in LIB_PATH = libpath'find_lib_path' File "xgboost/libpath.py", line 46, in find_lib_path 'List of candidates:\n' + ('\n'.join(dll_path))) builtin.XGBoostLibraryNotFound: Cannot find XGBoost Library in the candidate path, did you install compilers and run build.sh in root path?
Could anyone explain to me how to fix it?
thanks in advance.
You get that message when trying to install the xgboost Python package without the xgboost binaries present. The proper way to install the xgboost Python package from source is the following (assuming you have a compiler such as gcc installed):
git clone --recursive https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost.git
cd xgboost
./build.sh
cd python-package
python setup.py install
I prefer to do it inside a virtual environment. Note that the option --recursive when cloning the repo is essential since it will also clone folders from different repos such as dmlc-core which are necessary for building xgboost.
The other answers didn't work for me so I installed xgboost through Conda commands as listed here.
Just run conda install -c conda-forge xgboost
The first answer's suggestions did not work for me, and left me with the same error as the original question.
If I'm assuming correctly that your full error message is something like this:

C:\Users\Matt\xgboost\python-package\xgboost\xgboost.dll
C:\Users\Matt\xgboost\python-package\xgboost\../../lib/xgboost.dll
C:\Users\Matt\xgboost\python-package\xgboost\./lib/xgboost.dll
C:\Users\Matt\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35\xgboost\xgboost.dll
C:\Users\Matt\xgboost\python-package\xgboost\../../windows/x64/Release/xgboost.dll
C:\Users\Matt\xgboost\python-package\xgboost\./windows/x64/Release/xgboost.dll
then the solution is to
1) Get/find/download the library that setup.py is looking for. Search the xgboost folder for .dll files. See if you can find something like xgboost.dll it might be called libxgboost.dll. If you can, move to step 2. If you cannot find it download it here
2) Copy the .dll file into the xgboost/python-package/xgboost folder. If that .dll is not called xgboost.dll (i.e. if it's called libxgboost.dll) then change the name to xgboost.dll
3) Run the commands as outlined in Gustavo answer. Note these are meant to be run from Git Bash.
If you want a more soup-to-nuts tutorial, this was the best one I found.
thanks to Joe Nyland that found the a good answer for this problem in here.
As he said (and also worked for me) you need to run following commands:
$ brew install gcc#5
$ pip install xgboost
Try this it worked for me:
brew install gcc-5
brew install cmake
pip install xgboost
In my case (Ubuntu 16.04, with CUDA 9.0) the Python library build was evidently broken by adding R library package to the cmake options list:
1) python lib installation works OK:
cmake .. -DUSE_CUDA=ON -DCUDA_TOOLKIT_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/cuda-${CUDA_VER}
cd /tmp/xgboost/python-package && python3 setup.py install
2) adding '-DR_LIB=ON' switch to cmake breaks subsequent python library installation attempt:
cmake .. -DUSE_CUDA=ON -DCUDA_TOOLKIT_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/cuda-${CUDA_VER} -DR_LIB=ON
cd /tmp/xgboost/python-package && python3 setup.py install

I had the same issues. I downloaded the file (xgboost.dll) from
(https://picnet.com.au/blog/xgboost-windows-x64-binaries-for-download/)
into the already existing xgboost folder
(C:\Users\Naganandini\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python37\site-packages\xgboost).
It's perfectly working now :)
I faced the same error while installing xgboost using anaconda prompt because the installation of xgboost was interfering with the versions of some other pre-installed libraries. Installing xgboost by creating a virtual environment solved the issue.
On macOS and Linux:
python3 -m pip install --user virtualenv #Install virtualenv module
python3 -m venv env #Create a virtual environment 'env'
source env/bin/activate #Activate virtual environment
pip install xgboost #Install xgboost
On Windows:
py -m pip install --user virtualenv #Install virtualenv module
py -m venv env #Create a virtual environment 'env'
.\env\Scripts\activate #Activate virtual environment
pip install xgboost #Install xgboost
Refer https://packaging.python.org/guides/installing-using-pip-and-virtual-environments for help regarding virtual environment.
Search for xgboost.dll file under your C:\Users<your-user-name> directory.
If you have installed xgboost, somewhere you should find a copy of the xgboost.dll file.
Once you find the xgboost.dll file, just copy it to one of the paths mentioned in the error message,
e.g. C:\Users<your-user-name>\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python37\site-packages\xgboost\ . Import should work now.
1.I started off with the conda installation from anaconda prompt:
(base) C:\Users\abhi.b>conda install -c anaconda py-xgboost
This lead to the following error :
Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.
Solving environment: failed with repodata from current_repodata.json, will retry with next repodata source.

failed
UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found
to be incompatible with the existing python installation in your environment:
Specifications:
- py-xgboost -> python[version='>=2.7,<2.8.0a0|>=3.6,<3.7.0a0|>=3.7,<3.8.0a0|>=3.5,<3.6.0a0']
Your python: python=3.8
If python is on the left-most side of the chain, that's the version you've asked for.
When python appears to the right, that indicates that the thing on the left is somehow
not available for the python version you are constrained to. Note that conda will not
change your python version to a different minor version unless you explicitly specify
that.
Decided not to followup this path, as exploring python downgrade was not an option for me.
2.There after i followed "The final attempt that works " on the below link :
https://medium.com/analytics-vidhya/this-is-what-you-should-do-if-you-fail-to-install-the-latest-or-an-older-version-of-xgboost-on-7942a7641eee
However i got the same error as other users faced ::
>>> import xgboost as xgb

>>> exit()
BTW the link to download xgboost.dll as posted above -
https://picnet.com.au/blog/xgboost-windows-x64-binaries-for-download/
was not clear to me ,so i decided to not follow this thread.
3.Finally ,the solution was very simple for me,Open ANACONDA PROMPT and Type
(base) C:\Users\abhi.b>pip install xgboost
This lead to
Collecting xgboost

Then goto python prompt

Or you can type the same command on IDE ie Spyder etc
Voila!!
